Logic Tester
Laboratory Handbook
Stage 1
Semester 2
ENG1030M
Electronics Applications Project
Electronic Applications (ENG1030M) Module overview
This laboratory based single module (100 hours total) consists of one 3 hour session per week and has 3 main parts. Each part involves practical and written work, these are shown below in chronological order. You should be advised that that the lab sessions use up 36 hours and therefore you will be expected to use the remaining 64 hours in background work, which will include reading the lab script before the lab session and familiarising yourself with the software package, Proteus, used in this module. Project #1. Radio receiver Time allocated 3 weeks Approx weighting Logbook 50% Hardware 50%
This project requires the construction of an audio amplifier and an AM receiver from a kit of parts supplied. It is therefore a relatively simple construction and testing exercise, however good build quality is essential for satisfactory performance. #2. 16 channel IC logic tester 5 weeks Logbook 50% Hardware 50%
This project is more demanding, since it requires the design of a printed circuit board (PCB) using the CAD package, Proteus, on the PCs. The PCB is then used in the construction and testing of the logic tester. Student will work in pairs for this project.
#3. Semiconductors
4 weeks
Logbook 50% MCQ 50%
This final project consists of a series of measurement and design tasks including building up a surface mount PCB, which will form a development board for a series of MOSFET experiments. This section will also give an introduction to recent sustainability legislation affecting electronic manufacturing. In addition to the 3 projects you will also be expected to obtain a basic knowledge of the software that you will be using, namely Proteus. You will need to work through the Proteus handbook, available in Blackboard, during the weeks prior to project #2 (at times other than the lab sessions) in order to be ready
